When I was a kid, some of my first experiences with WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MAGIC TRICKS, were these (I have no idea what they are called!!) puzzles which were made of twisted wire or metal, and the idea was you had two linked together, and you had to figure out how to separate them.

If I had the name of what they were called, I could be more clear on what I'm looking for.

But to me, when I was a small boy, they were MAGIC TRICKS, and it gave me the power to do something that my friends could not.

Be that as it may, I had a promo booth at the 4H fair this year, and I promoted my magic show, but I'm thinking ahead to next year and what new things I could offer to or even sell to the kids as a promo item or magic trick.

So I'm wondering if these metal puzzles are still even around these days, and where could I get them?

Any help would be appreciated.

I really think it would be a fabulous idea at next years 4H booth to have puzzles to offer the young crowd.

So I'n looking way ahead, and wanted to post it while it's still fresh in my mind.

My daughter gave me one that I have had for twenty years and never been able to solve.

Does anybody else remember that these puzzles were attached to rolls of hardware cloth, chicken wire, and other fencing materials? Kids would always race to getâ€™um 1st, back then they were known as â€œwireâ€
